Mordica v. State
Court of Appeals of Georgia
1Opinion of the Court
RAY, Judge.
Following a hearing, the trial court granted the State’s petition for forfeiture of $63,339 seized from Jeffrey Mordica’s vehicle following a traffic stop. Mordica appeals, arguing that the State’s complaint for forfeiture failed to comply with statutory pleading requirements, and that the trial court erred in admitting uncertified criminal records into evidence, in admitting a certain police officer as an expert in bulk drug and cash smuggling, and in finding that the funds were subject to forfeiture. Finding no error, we affirm.
Viewed with all inferences in favor of the trial…
